Text-only by design
SwiphtBrowser strips page chrome and media-heavy elements so the app can focus on the words in a document.
Reader interactions
Open extracted links, keep back and forward history, and submit simple GET and POST forms from the reader session.
Native targets
GNU/Linux ships first as a swiphtgroup.com AppImage with bundled GTK4 runtime; other native app surfaces remain in progress.
